HONOR KEEPS HER PROMISE
The Solarian League—for hundreds of years they have borne the banner of human civilization. But the bureaucratic Mandarins who rule today's League are corrupt and looking for scapegoats. They've decided the upstart Star Kingdom of Manticore must be annihilated.
UNCOMPROMISING COURAGE
Honor Harrington has worn the Star Kingdom's uniform for half a century. Very few know war the way Honor Harrington does. So far, hers has been a voice of caution. But now the Mandarins have committed atrocities such as the galaxy has not known in a thousand years. They have finally killed too many of the people Honor Harrington loves.
UNCOMPROMISING VENGEANCE
Now Honor Harrington is coming for the Solarian League. And Hell is riding in her wake.

Waitng for the edited versionafter the last Honor book I swore I'd never buy another eARC from Weber and reading the reviews above I'm even more determined to wait it out and hope an editor hacks into Weber's verbal weedy overgrowth and uncovers a decent story.

Tedious and RamblingAt 800 pages, Uncompromising Honor is twice as long as it should be.There are dozens of needless characters who are introduced and then disappear, never to be seen again. There are numerous subplots, most of which contribute nothing to the overall story line. Whole chapters can be skipped (Abigail Hearns at lunch, Damian Harahap at dinner) with no loss of comprehension.
The Honorverse storyline went stale several books ago, this book does nothing to bring it back to life. It was a chore to finish and, even then, the ending was a strain on the imagination.
I miss the snappy pacing of the first 3-4 books.

BoringI would never believe that I would hear myself saying this. A Honor Harrington book that bored me to tears. All talk, no ACTION.

TediousJust. Tedious.
For the most part I love the character, but Weber's gotten seriously tedious with his writing of her stories. Waaaaaay too long-winded, way too many tangents.
I won't buy another of these books. Weber's just ruined the storyline with a complete lack of disciplined writing.Posted on

much betterI completely enjoyed this book. I agree with some other reviewers that in some cases during the book Weber was a bit verbose needlessly. However not as often as they might think. I loved the usual and wonderful character building that is Weber. I also really enjoyed the technical explanations that helped me under stand what deep space warfare was really like. It is something I have come to really rely on from Weber. Thank you Weber for finally letting us see more of where Honors story was going.

WowBack to the action with a vengeance. I loved how fast it moved and seeing the Sollies finally get theirs. I can't wait to read the details of what actually happened when Mike and Lester hit Messa.

Anti-climatic end to what was a great seriesHave you ever worked in an office? Have you ever sat in meeting after meeting? That's the equivalent of this book. I love David Weber and I love the Honor Harrington series but this is a sad end, if it is indeed the end, to one of my favorite science fiction sagas. A good two-thirds of the book is simply meeting after meeting after meeting. After over a dozen books in the series there are still new characters introduced, for no discernible purpose. Some major plots and characters simply stop, with no resolution at all. There are a few minor skirmishes and action scenes, however the climax is anything but. Book after book built up the conflict between Manticore (and the Alliance) and the Solarian league. It wasn't an explosion, it was barely a 10 cent firecrackers and a puff of smoke.

Much better than the lastEnjoyed this one much more than the previous one in the series, much tighter with less verbage. A few interesting threads being drawn together in the plot and a good ending with Honor back to form.
